THAW CASE P1AYE? ITS PART
Alleged Insanity of the Slayer of
Stanford White Caused Family of
the Earl to Make No Defense,
Though American Glrlci's Mother
In-Law Stood By Her.
(.By Associated PrcKP.)
l.ONiMtN. Feb. :>.?Sir Blrroll Bar
net. presld'eliV ftf the divorce court
today granted tho Countess of Ynr-.
mouth, who was Miss Alice Thaw, or
Pittsburk? n decree nullifying tho mar?
riage to/bo Karl of Yarmouth.
The case wn? heard in private. At
the time Hied for the commenco- ,
nicnt of the proceedings ovcry one not
actually engaged on the care was ex-J
eluded from the court room. The
ease was practically undefended and
the bearing lasted for only half an
hour. Trwi, counters, attired In a
fashionable black gown, was present
Kit the Karl of Yarmouth was not In
court.
Only four witnesses were examined.
They were the. Countess of Yarmouth
herself, her fuajd, a doctor appointed
by the court, and an American law-!
yer who proved the marriage. . The
countess gave evidence in support ot
her allegation that the marriage had
never been consumated nnd the maid
(???stifled that the earl and the coun?
tess had not boon living as man and
wife. According to the evidence of
the doctor the Hirl of Yarmouth wan
Incapable of oonsuniatlng the mar?
riage, but counsel for the plaintiff
contended that this did not affect the;
allegation that the marriage had not
lieen consumated and he pointed out
to the judge tH^t It JVas wllhln the
discretion of the'court to annul the
ninrrlngo if it was proved that It hud j
not been consumated.
Tho earl's lawyer satisfied hlhised
with pointing out that the evidence
of the doctor removed any stigma
placed upon the <ioi+-hy tho evidence
of the plaintiff and that there were
no grounds upon which tho countess
could have sued for divorce.
The judge pronounced hi-- decree
annulling the nvaxriepe without com?
ment. In the ordinary rours? of
events it will be made absolute In
six months.
No mention was made of a mar?
riage settlement and it was learned
fron? an nuthoritatiy'e source that
contrary to certain published state?
ments the question of revising the
settlement has not been discussed.
Thaw Catc Played Its Part.
The ohange from the previous de?
termination of the Yarntouths to con?
test the case Is said ;1o have beeu
Ihfluen.I by the evidence given re?
cently In New York at the trial of
Harry Kendall Thaw, brolbrir of tho
coun t ess, f(,r the murder />f Stanford
White, with regard to la'sanity in the
Thaw family, sr, well , as, th" verdict
of the Jury that Harry Thaw was in
sand when he committed the crime.
It has hern well' known for two
rear- |KiSt that ill/- domestic affairs
of the YannouihS' were 'unhappy. The
earl's companions' and bis manner of
living, II was said, w81? such that he

I may be regarded as at an end.
The willingness of Senor 'Maohado,

Trained to Evil Life, He Could Not
Resist; the Temptation to Pick Poc
ketr. Though He T ied Hard to Ov?
ercome Temptation?FricndG Can't
Believe Him Guilty.
(By Associated Pre?s.)
NKW YORK. Feb. fi.?Confesslnr.
that In spite of all-his efforts to lead
an honest life, he was Unable to re*
;-ist the temptation t<> pink pocketa,
to which ho, itiitl been trained in his
youth. IjoiiIs Wolf, a prosperous
DrOOklyu business man. who was ar?
rested more than a month ago in that
borough, lias revealed as strange
n tale of a dotiWc life and the
never ending struggle between right
and wrong a.s- baa ever been told out?
side' of the pages' of fiction. Like
Stevenson's "Or. Jekyll," the impulse
to do wrong gripped Wolf with an in?
tensity that ho could no more resist
than could "Mr, llydo" refrain from
committing the crimes that his other
personality was guilth-ss* of.
Nor was Wolf's legitimate business
merely a cloke for bis other trade, as
has been the case In other Instance*!
of apparently honest men w'eo were
crlmiuals ' at heart. Ho protested,
to Assistant District Attorney
Elder. of Brooklyn, that his de?
sire Hi reform was slncerej and that
it was only when tho temptation lo
go out and steal became tot? strong
for a weakened will to withstand that
ho yielded to it.
"I have made an high n.; ?7.nnn a
year picking pockets at night, while
carrying on my nig and carpel busi?
ness in the daytime," Is part of the
amazing human document that now
forms a part of the criminal records
of Kings county. The confession In
full was not made public, but Mr.
Elder gave out enough of it yesterday
to reveal tho tragic story of a man
who. bred to a life of crime, sincerely
tried to reform, but fount! the power
of old habits too strong for him.
Early Career of Crime.
"I was born on the east side of
Manhattan Ibirty-thiv-o years ago,"
said Wolf in his confession. "After
leaving school, at the age of fifteen,
I fell in with a hand of young men
who never worked and whoso ability
to drr.ss well and spend money liber?
ally was always a mystery to nie. At
last I learned that thev were pick?
pockets', and before long I was their
pupil iu crime.
"Their leader was a man. then In
niiddie life, who was known to Ihe
band both aw "Ohl Isaacs" which
probably was his real name, und as
'Fngin the Secopd.' He conducted a
school for pickpockets "that In every?
thing but Uto local setting rca mblod
that conducted by old Fugln in IHck
en's hovel of 'Oliver Twist.' H> Wnfl
?an expert 'dip.' 'panhandler' and
'strong arm man." to use terms from
the vocabulary of thieves. Under his
Instructions I soon learned all there
was to 1" learned of Hit* games of
proving on the public, and became an
expert myself.
"When I had become proficient in
crime I struck out for ihe West. I
had made lots "f money from my
thefts in N'ew York, and I continued
to live well in Chicago and St. l/uiis.
I was arrested In Chicago several
times, but 1 usually oscaped with a
light sentence.
"Later on I was arrested In Kt
Loultf, and while doing lime there I
began to realize that I was leading
a dog's life after nil. I had had the
advantage of a public school educa?
tion, and w-ss perhaps better able to
think along right, lines fluni some of
the men who had'been my early asso?
ciates In crime. While I was serv?
ing a sentence in the St. I.oulh work
J house 1 made up my mind lo lead an
hen. si life. Thinking it over. I came
lo the conclusion that 1 could .Juaao
money honestly in New- York, und
that timo had changed nie so Innl
none of my old associates would rec?
ognize ii,c. and I would not be tempt
< d to fall by the wayside.
"I came back East and started life
anew, i-'or a long tlmo'after I marled
In business In East New York I was
the happiest man living. I felt as if
a great load had been lifted from my
Shoulders, As 1 look back 1 feel that
1 must huvo bad the vestiges of a
Ronsclonpo, I felt then that the Um
ptatloo to pick pockets would never
return.
Yielded to Temptation.
"One night Wb*U 1 wont, out on tho
streets alone 1 felt the call of the old
trade come -back. I was perfectly
?ober, but I could no raoro realst Um

drunkard who tries to reform can re?
sin the lights. the music nud
the warmth of the corner saloon. I
yielded to the temptation, ami when
I got home I cursed nil b' If for n
coward and a weakling. I redoubled
my attention to my business, but 1
fell again and again. Now 1 am here.
"1 want to be an honest man. There
is that within me that Impels me to
lend an honest life. Hut my will Is
too weak. I cannot resist tempta?
tion."
Wolfs confession chars up a
mystery that has bc;n puzzling the
police evr tinee his arrest. In the
middle of December, when he was ac?
cused by Prank llelble. a Brooklyn
butcher, of taking JRO from the hit?
ter's pocket on a KM g wood car.

tuen of standing, who had made his
acquaintance since Iii? establishment

'Senator UovorldgA of Indiana, today

Republican and Democratic shies of

?hour and a half and when he con
eluded his remarks. Senator Culber?
son of Texas, remarked that the sen?
ator from Indiana was to be rungrnl
Ulated because In some degree nt
, least ho had joined the army of Inr
ijtY rovialonirtH. He said that It had
1 been announced In the newspapers
I that a decree Imd been Issued on the
Hopubllan side thaV the tariff couhl
j not even- be Inquired Into at th'n
i l) line.
Mr, . ulberson called attention,,:'"
?hu he "aid was the fact that~^'
n. i.icr. advalorein tariff is now 45
|K?r cent.; ha i is, greater than the
difference bei ween this cost of libor

' "ft Is a Domoc'atin campaign
book," replied Mr. Culboraoii,
; "I thought SM."' responded Mr. I10V
orldgo.
Ho xprssed his regrei hat p.irtisan
shlp should be Injected Into the Jo
bate.
, "Such tueiics," Mr. Ueverldge said.
1 "may be worthy of the senator ad
a leader of his party, but K Is not
Worthy; ol any man nppai lug lp the
capacity of a statesman In this coun?
try. We must, get away from Inject?
ing poll'lea Into every great ques
, tlon."
j Beverld^- n Tariff Reformer.
j As far us ho wn.i conconied he
(had always been n larlff reformer,
but he hnd m-ver belonged to tie

to a partisan basis. England, ho
said, was about to abandon her tar?
iff Tor revenue policy for pro ection
j and all the gri-it nations ibad Amt
; adopted a tariff system and then ?
I double tariff system Involving a tnax
I In)tun tariff.

I "The fad," he sold, "tint we are
I 'told that 'he larlff imist not he n

I mission that it Is."
Senator Scott - pronounced himself
'j to be a "stand patter." Ho bollard
'too present Dlngley tariff had done
I more for this country In the past
'ten years than nny law ever enacted.
Mr. Stone or Missouri, declared
Ihfcl whon William Jennings Bryan

party, then and thin only would a
conset vatlvc and genuine revision of
the tariff be begun.
